English term or phrase: Contextual Convention

Written Language was in the extremely low range on the KTEA-3. Error analysis indicated weaknesses in task, structure, word form, capitalization and punctuation. Contextual Convention and Story Composition were in the extremely low range on the TOWL-4. Prompts and directions were translated into Spanish. During the written language test, he was supposed to write for 10 minutes, and he was only able to do so for about 1 minute. He was prompted to keep writing, and he did so for about 30 seconds. He wrote two lines in English. xxxxx wrote his answer for the TOWL in Spanish. He and I translated into English, which I scribed for him. I read it back to him and asked him if he wanted to add anything else and I would write it for him

5 hrs confidence:

contextual convention Convención contextual

Explanation:
Yo lo traduciría literalmente.

La "gramática" o la "sintaxis" podrían ser "convenciones", pero no veo por qué tienen que ser "convenciones gramaticales", ni tampoco veo la razón de usar el plural, cuando el original inglés usa un "singular" genérico y diría yo que hasta "telegráfico"...

Saludos cordiales.

Vaya, ni me había dado cuenta de que Patinba había puesto la misma cita ya. Pero es lo que me hace pensar que mejor no añadir "gramaticales" o si se añade, entonces hay que añadir, "per force", "y ortográficas"... :-)
